On a Greek island the world has forgotten, a failed dropout, a bankrupt millionaire, and a persecuted musician from Iran fight for dignity—while around them, a pandemic forces humanity into quarantine.

Imagine: The Beach meets Shutter Island—but instead of palm trees, there are rusty boats, and instead of a psychopath, the characters battle their own demons.

Leros, a remote Greek island, becomes the stage for the absurd in 2020: Frank, a German software developer, escapes to a dilapidated sailboat—only to be trapped by lockdown in a makeshift prison.

Amid bureaucratic decrees, decaying ships, and a refugee camp, he crosses paths with Raphael, a bankrupt gas tycoon, and Leila, an Iranian Christian in exile.

Drunk on ouzo and shattered dreams, they stumble through midnight barbecues, police brutality, and nightmare-like scenes that drag them into the depths of their souls.

Paradise and Hell illuminates the boundaries of freedom and the wounds of exile—a fight for dignity in an era of stagnation.

Paradise and Hell is a film about the limits of liberty, the scars of displacement, and the question of whether we can salvage our dreams before they drown.
